The shooting of National Guard members is a horrific act of violence. I’m praying for these servicemembers and their loved ones.

The first time I noticed this sign I asked if there was a reason they’d put it up or if was just preemptive.

This is a very sweet (if very Christian-centric) trans-led mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift givers with unhoused or in-foster care trans kids.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Please consider doing a kindness this giving season and help Dani fulfill this Angel Tree request. Those are for children, usually living in poverty, who need help having a brighter holiday. Even if you can't cover the whole thing, you can help make a difference for this child.
Hiding on this account due to safety concerns if anyone wants to share.

Also, I would love to fill this angel tree while I'm still working in this Walmart.

$40-50 will help cover things with snowboots/jacket being needed!! More is always appreciated to go above ❤️

And a lot of that is the wash job the rich techies did on themselves.

"I went from working in my garage to a billionaire"

(working in your parents garage, they paid your rent, and loaned you $500K, & put you in touch with other tech people to start your business, & got lawyers for you...)

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

People got fussy back in the day when people brought up the term "social contract" as part of gaming, but that's what it is.

- What kind of game are we trying to play?
- What's people's roles in that?

Stated up front, people can decide if that's what they want or not.

The main issue with the box o art is the supplies in it aren't even crayola level functional.

An experienced artist will know this, appreciate that your heart was in the right place, and then never use it.

A beginning artist will not know this and blame themselves when their art is bad.

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that.

I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989.

"But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!"

I will help.

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.

Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Charisma is a local trans artist, creator, bookseller and all around wonderful human. I've been so lucky to get to hang out with them, and I've gotten to admire their art and their incredible positivity.

They had to move a while back due to fuckery. Please give whatever you can!
Please share and donate if you can! Much much needed and appreciated ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have started an urgent gfm for my partner and friend Charisma and Robin. Please consider supporting them as they face financial hardship and housing insecurity! gofund.me/21cc825a8

I don't specifically spring clean, but yes otherwise. I do a big clean when the neurodivergence so moves me.
Question for Millennials only (1980-1995):

Do you…

1) Save all manuals that come with your stuff

2) Save the (extra) parts and hardware when you have to assemble stuff

3) Have a tool box / place for basic tools

4) Perform recommended maintenance on appliances

5) Do “Spring cleaning”

Quote it.
